Health
Today’s post is not really about weight loss it’s about health. Having just heard that another friend has had heart trouble, someone who’s still young not yet retired, I feel I have to go over the basic facts of what we know to be a healthy lifestyle
- There is a basic amount of aerobic exercise that we all need to do just to be healthy not to lose weight or be in the Olympic team just to be healthy and the fact is most of us don’t do it and because of this bad things happen. This is not something you should start doing when you get old or when you are told to because you have become ill. It is what you should have always been doing every week, every year.
- I can hear you saying “well it’s too late for me now I’m 40,50,60 now so the damage is already done” but we all know that’s just a lazy persons excuse, almost as lame as “I don’t have time because I need to work so many hours” yeah, like you don’t have time to keep alive.

- As well as exercise your diet is obviously very important to your health. The important things here are avoiding processed foods as much as possible and being sure to eat your 5 a day. It sounds so simple yet so few people do it. Below are links to two posts on this subject. Read them now.

- The next most dangerous thing for your health is, and you’re not going to like this one, the TV. The thing we need to do next after exercise and diet is have an active lifestyle, be up and about doing things not sitting down with the remote shortening your lifespan by doing nothing. Try not to confuse an active lifestyle with your aerobic exercise, the exercise is separate and needs to be at the correct intensity to achieve the required results.
- A good way to track how much of everything you do is keep a diary or log of your time for a few weeks you may be surprised at how much time you spend sitting and how little you spend at exercise and being active.
- In the new year I will have the Permanent Weight Solutions Course ready, it will guide you step by step through all the aspects of exercise and diet and get you in control of your weight for ever.
